Paintings Britt Lomond also painted.

BRITTINI was a commercial art studio in the 1960s, in Los Angeles, California. The studio was owned by three people, actor Britt Lomond, his father-in-law, and Loraine Miller.

In addition to producing vast numbers of "sofa art" paintings, the Brittini artists also did extensive muraling in the Grauman's Egyptian Theatre, in Hollywood, in 1964 (those paintings are now gone, the theatre has been remodeled). The paintings were usually of ships, with raised texture, using white glue tinted black with acrylic paint.
